Hold on to your Baccarat flutes, it’s only for one night. Actually, Le Cirque is popping up on April 20 at The Tower Club. ClubCorp and the legendary Manhattan restaurant have teamed up and are going on the road to “play” An Evening with Le Cirque at 10 of ClubCorp’s family of private clubs around the nation. They are bringing Le Cirque’s new chef, Olivier Reginensi, and members of the Maccioni family, which opened the original Le Cirque in New York and now owns nine restaurants throughout the world. Marchesi Antinori and Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Brut picked the wines. I’ve printed the menu and wine list below. Reservations are limited and start at 6 P.M. The cost $150 per person, which includes meal and wine pairings. Call 888.402.3933 or email ClubLine to RSVP. All here.
